Hi! I am running Debian 2.2.2r plus 2.2.17 kernel. I want to study about compiling kernels, so that I have to apt-get install (from Debian University):
a) kernel-source-2.2.17 b) bin86 c) kernel-package d) task-c-dev e) libncurses5-dev f) task-tcltk-dev while apt-get install a)-c) went fine, apt-get install d)-f) reports the following (sorry for the long output): for d): micron:/home/chiappa# apt-get install task-c-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: task-c-dev: Depends: libc-dev E: Sorry, broken packages for e): micron:/home/chiappa# apt-get install libncurses5-dev Reading Package Lists...
